The Cost of NYC

We returned to the Hotel to let our youngest member acquire a much needed nap. While she slept a few of us explored the Executive Lounge. Another perk of having an Executive level room is access to the 44th floor of the building. This is where they serve free breakfast, appetizers, drinks, and internet to 'executives' like us.

We sit down to some pot stickers, scallops, shrimp, and these strange shredded beef mini hot pockets. We then hit the bar for some early evening cocktails where we learn this disturbing fact:

Bud Light Bottle: $8Makers & Coke: $15

We immediately derided the hotel for their ridiculous prices. Of course, we later discovered this is about average. In New York, a $6 bottle of beer is to be treasured. Think about that the next time you get a $2 bottle or a $4 double.
